Definitions
- the present invention relates to a motor vehicle body with a frame and at least one fixed to the frame headlights.
- the frame which carries the outer parts of the bodywork, must be rigid in order to carry loads and protect the passengers in case of an accident.
- significant efforts have recently been made to compliment the body exterior so that they can deform under the impact of the pedestrian and slowly decelerate it prior to contact comes with the underlying frame, the engine block or other non-compliant parts of the vehicle.
- hoods In order to increase the available for the delay of the pedestrian deformation, for example, hoods have been proposed, which are automatically raised in an accident to increase the distance between the hood and engine block. Of course, this measure is only effective if the pedestrian also hits the hood. Often, however, accident situations in which a pedestrian is not approached head-on, but only comes into contact with a corner of the front of the vehicle, such. B., when the driver tries to avoid the pedestrian, but not succeed. In such a case, an adult pedestrian often encounters a thigh or a child with his head or torso a headlight of the vehicle.
- the length of the delay path that can be provided in this way is naturally only a small part of the extension of the headlight itself.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome this limitation.
- the object is achieved in that in the frame behind the headlight a recess is left free, in which the headlamp is displaced under the action of force.
- the path length over which the lens of the headlamp can recede in an accident thus corresponds to at least the path length, referred to as displacement, over which the headlamp is displaceable; it may even be greater than the displacement path when the headlamp is also still deformable, as is known from the prior art cited above.
- the headlamp is held on the body via a plurality of destructible holders, to whose Destruction of energy is required, which is deprived of the impact energy of the pedestrian.
- the plurality of holders are different difficult destructible. If, during an impact, the more easily destructible holders are already destroyed, the remaining, more destructible holders may define a pivot point about which the headlamp is pivotable, and the recess may be placed such that the headlamp is pivoted about that pivot point into the recess engages. By guiding the displacement movement in this way, it can be ensured that the headlight engages in an orientation in the recess, which makes good use of the available space.
- At least one of the holders is deformable under force, whether instead of breaking or before it breaks, in order to continuously extract impact energy from the pedestrian by the deformation of the holder.
- the headlights 1 of the motor vehicle shown in Fig. 1 have an approximately triangular lens 5, of which an outer edge respectively to a fender 2, an upper edge of a hood 3 and a lower edge of a bumper. 4 borders.
- the outlines of the body of the housing engaging in the housing of the headlamp 1 are indicated in Fig. 1 by dashed lines.
- Fig. 2 shows the headlight 1 alone. He has approximately the shape of a nonuniform tetrahedron with rounded edges, of which the diffuser 5 forms a surface.
- a bulb holder 6 On the side facing away from the lens 5 tip of the tetrahedron 6 is a bulb holder 6, which is removable to remove a lamp 7 from the headlight and replace.
- three tabs 8 On the side surfaces of the tetrahedron three tabs 8 are attached, which are connected by means of screws or the like to complementary tabs of a molded rigid sheet metal frame part 9, which is shown only incomplete in FIG. A central portion of this frame part 9, in which a passage opening 10 is formed for a hood lock extends below the front edge of the hood 3 and is hidden in Fig. 1 of this.
- Fig. 3 and 4 illustrate the operation of the invention according to a first embodiment with reference to two schematic sections.
- Fig. 3 shows a section in the intact state in which the lens 5 of the headlamp 1 with the adjacent hood 3 and the outer shell of the bumper 4 is flush.
- Two holders between the housing of the headlamp 1 and the rigid frame part 9, which are each formed by the interconnected tabs of the headlamp and frame part are shown in Fig. 1 by simple dashes 12, 13.
- a recess 14 Inside the body behind the housing of the headlamp is a recess 14.
- the recess 14 is not completely surrounded by delimiting walls; at least in its rear area an opening is left, which makes it possible to access the bulb holder 6 from the engine compartment.
- the Recess 14 is partially with a deformable by compression material, eg. B. filled a foam 15.
- Fig. 4 shows an analogous to Fig. 3 section after a collision of a pedestrian on the headlight 1.
- the holder 12, 13 are all destroyed, and the headlight is pushed back as a whole in the recess 14 into it.
- the structure of the foam 15 was continuously destroyed and thereby the impact of the pedestrian is continuously decelerated.
- the destruction of the holder 12, 13 can be done by breaking the tabs 8 of the headlamp 1 and the frame part 9 connecting screws or by breaking tabs from the headlight housing or the frame part 9.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, of which in turn Fig. 5 shows a section through the headlight 1 and its surroundings in the intact state and Fig. 6 shows a corresponding section after striking a pedestrian on the headlight 1.
- the upper 12 is more easily destructible than the lower 13, e.g. Example, by using a rivet with predetermined breaking point in the upper holder 12, and not in the lower 13, or by simply the tabs of the lower holder 13 are made longer and more flexible than that of the upper 12.
- the upper holder 12 breaks while the lower holder 13 first yields, so that the headlight first reaches the position shown in FIG. 6 as a dashed outline.
- the lower holder 13 is not deformable, but it is not yet destroyed, and therefore forms a pivot around which the headlight 1 pivots downward in the recess 14.
- This embodiment is therefore particularly suitable for a vehicle body, in the place in which the headlight 1 can be displaced in an accident, in the direction of travel behind the headlight can not be readily provided.
- a continuous deceleration of the impacting pedestrian can be achieved in this embodiment in that to bend the intact remaining lower holder 13 in all phases of the displacement movement of the headlight 1 work must be done.
- a deformable element such as the above-mentioned foam 15 may be provided in the recess 14.
- FIGs. 7 and 8 show an embodiment of the invention in which a recess 14, in which the headlamp can yield in an impact, on the one hand below and on the other hand obliquely upwards behind the headlight.
- a recess 14 in which the headlamp can yield in an impact
- the lower holder 13 ' which breaks in an impact first
- the upper holder 12' initially still forms a pivot point, which leads the movement of the headlamp 1 in the recess 14 into it.
- An advantage of this embodiment is that the lower edge of the lens 5, which collides first with the pedestrian, can escape, so that a first delay of the pedestrian has already occurred before the heavier destructible upper holder 12 'is significantly charged.
- FIG. 7 A fourth embodiment of the invention is shown in Figs. 9 and 10. 3 and 4, an essential difference is that in the embodiment of FIG. 7, a projection 16 protrudes into the recess 14, which, as can be seen in FIG. 8, the housing of the headlight 1 compresses, if this after Breaking the holder 12, 13 is pressed into the recess 14.
- the headlight housing itself assumes the function of the foam as a deformable element whose compression dissipates impact energy.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftfahrzeugkarosserie mit einem Rahmen und wenigstens einem an dem Rahmen fixierten Scheinwerfer.The present invention relates to a motor vehicle body with a frame and at least one fixed to the frame headlights.
Der Rahmen, der die Außenteile der Karosserie trägt, muss steif sein, um Lasten tragen und im Falle eines Unfalls die Fahrzeuginsassen schützen zu können. Um den Schutz eines angefahrenen Fußgängers bei einem Unfall zu verbessern, sind in letzter Zeit erhebliche Anstrengungen unternommen worden, die Außenteile der Karosserie nachgiebig zu gestalten, so dass diese sich unter dem Aufprall des Fußgängers verformen und ihn langsam verzögern können, bevor es zu einem Kontakt mit dem darunter liegenden Rahmen, dem Motorblock oder anderen nicht nachgiebigen Teilen des Fahrzeugs kommt.The frame, which carries the outer parts of the bodywork, must be rigid in order to carry loads and protect the passengers in case of an accident. In order to improve the protection of an injured pedestrian in an accident, significant efforts have recently been made to compliment the body exterior so that they can deform under the impact of the pedestrian and slowly decelerate it prior to contact comes with the underlying frame, the engine block or other non-compliant parts of the vehicle.
Um den für die Verzögerung des Fußgängers zur Verfügung stehenden Verformungsweg zu vergrößern, sind beispielsweise Motorhauben vorgeschlagen worden, die bei einem Unfall automatisch angehoben werden, um den Abstand zwischen Haube und Motorblock zu vergrößern. Diese Maßnahme ist natürlich nur dann wirksam, wenn der Fußgänger auch auf die Haube auftrifft. Häufig sind jedoch auch Unfallsituationen, bei denen ein Fußgänger nicht frontal angefahren wird, sondern nur mit einer Ecke der Frontpartie des Fahrzeugs in Berührung kommt, so z. B., wenn der Fahrer dem Fußgänger auszuweichen versucht, dies aber nicht gelingt. In einem solchen Fall stößt ein erwachsener Fußgänger häufig mit einem Oberschenkel oder ein Kind mit dem Kopf oder Oberkörper gegen einen Scheinwerfer des Fahrzeugs. Um auch in einem solchen Fall einen Verformungsweg bereit zu stellen und den Fußgänger zu verzögern, sind zahlreiche Typen von Scheinwerfern vorgeschlagen worden, bei denen das Gehäuse stauchbar ist oder Sollbruchstellen aufweist, so dass die Streuscheibe des Scheinwerfers, die mit dem Fußgänger unmittelbar in Berührung kommt, ins Innere der Fahrzeugkarosserie zurückweichen kann.In order to increase the available for the delay of the pedestrian deformation, for example, hoods have been proposed, which are automatically raised in an accident to increase the distance between the hood and engine block. Of course, this measure is only effective if the pedestrian also hits the hood. Often, however, accident situations in which a pedestrian is not approached head-on, but only comes into contact with a corner of the front of the vehicle, such. B., when the driver tries to avoid the pedestrian, but not succeed. In such a case, an adult pedestrian often encounters a thigh or a child with his head or torso a headlight of the vehicle. In order to provide a deformation path in such a case and to delay the pedestrian, numerous types of headlamps have been proposed in which the housing is compressible or has predetermined breaking points, so that the lens of the headlamp, which comes into direct contact with the pedestrian , can recede into the interior of the vehicle body.
So beschreibt z. B.
Die Länge des auf diese Weise bereitstellbaren Verzögerungswegs ist naturgemäß immer nur ein kleiner Teil der Ausdehnung des Scheinwerfers selbst. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, diese Beschränkung zu überwinden.The length of the delay path that can be provided in this way is naturally only a small part of the extension of the headlight itself. The object of the present invention is to overcome this limitation.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass in dem Rahmen hinter dem Scheinwerfer eine Aussparung frei gelassen ist, in die der Scheinwerfer unter Krafteinwirkung verdrängbar ist. Die Weglänge, über die die Streuscheibe des Scheinwerfers bei einem Unfall zurückweichen kann, entspricht somit mindestens der Weglänge, als verdrängungsweg bezeichnet, über die der Scheinwerfer verdrängbar ist; er kann noch größer sein als der Verdrängungsweg, wenn der Scheinwerfer außerdem noch, wie aus dem oben zitierten Stand der Technik bekannt, in sich deformierbar ist.The object is achieved in that in the frame behind the headlight a recess is left free, in which the headlamp is displaced under the action of force. The path length over which the lens of the headlamp can recede in an accident, thus corresponds to at least the path length, referred to as displacement, over which the headlamp is displaceable; it may even be greater than the displacement path when the headlamp is also still deformable, as is known from the prior art cited above.
Vorzugsweise ist der Scheinwerfer an der Karosserie über eine Mehrzahl von zerstörbaren Haltern gehalten, zu deren Zerstörung Energie erforderlich ist, die der Aufprallenergie des Fußgängers entzogen wird.Preferably, the headlamp is held on the body via a plurality of destructible holders, to whose Destruction of energy is required, which is deprived of the impact energy of the pedestrian.
vorzugsweise sind die mehreren Halter unterschiedlich schwer zerstörbar. Wenn während eines Aufpralls die leichter zerstörbaren Halter bereits zerstört sind, können die verbleibenden, schwerer zerstörbaren Halter einen Angelpunkt definieren, um den der Scheinwerfer schwenkbar ist, und die Aussparung kann so platziert werden, dass der Scheinwerfer durch eine Schwenkbewegung um diesen Angelpunkt in die Aussparung einrückt. Indem die Verdrängungsbewegung in dieser Weise geführt wird, kann sichergestellt werden, dass der Scheinwerfer in einer Orientierung in die Aussparung einrückt, die den vorhandenen Platz gut ausnutzt.Preferably, the plurality of holders are different difficult destructible. If, during an impact, the more easily destructible holders are already destroyed, the remaining, more destructible holders may define a pivot point about which the headlamp is pivotable, and the recess may be placed such that the headlamp is pivoted about that pivot point into the recess engages. By guiding the displacement movement in this way, it can be ensured that the headlight engages in an orientation in the recess, which makes good use of the available space.
Um die Stellung des Scheinwerfers an der Karosserie eindeutig festzulegen, reichen drei Halter aus.To clearly determine the position of the headlamp on the body, three holders are sufficient.
Es kann auch vorgesehen werden, dass wenigstens eine der Halter unter Kraftaufwand verformbar ist, sei es anstatt zu brechen oder bevor sie bricht, um durch die Verformung der Halter dem Fußgänger kontinuierlich Aufprallenergie zu entziehen.It can also be provided that at least one of the holders is deformable under force, whether instead of breaking or before it breaks, in order to continuously extract impact energy from the pedestrian by the deformation of the holder.
Um sicher zu stellen, dass der Verdrängung des Scheinwerfers auch dann noch eine verzögernde Kraft entgegenwirkt, wenn alle Halter zerstört sind, kann in der Aussparung ein durch Verdrängen des Scheinwerfers deformierbares Element vorgesehen sein.To ensure that the displacement of the headlamp still counteracts a retarding force when all holders are destroyed, can be provided in the recess by displacing the headlight deformable element.

Die Frontscheinwerfer 1 des in Fig. 1 gezeigten Kraftfahrzeugs haben eine in etwa dreieckige Streuscheibe 5, von der ein äußerer Rand jeweils an einen Kotflügel 2, ein oberer Rand an eine Haube 3 und ein unterer Rand an einen Stoßfänger 4 angrenzt. Die Umrisse des in das Karosserieinnere eingreifenden Gehäuses des Scheinwerfers 1 sind in Fig. 1 durch gestrichelte Linien angedeutet.The
Fig. 2 zeigt den Scheinwerfer 1 für sich allein. Er hat in etwa die Gestalt eines ungleichmäßigen Tetraeders mit zum Teil abgerundeten Kanten, von dem die Streuscheibe 5 eine Fläche bildet. An der von der Streuscheibe 5 abgewandten Spitze des Tetraeders 6 befindet sich eine Leuchtmittelfassung 6, die entfernbar ist, um ein Leuchtmittel 7 aus dem Scheinwerfer zu entnehmen und auszutauschen. An den Seitenflächen des Tetraeders sind drei Laschen 8 angebracht, die mit Hilfe von Schrauben oder dergleichen an komplementären Laschen eines aus einem steifen Blech geformten Rahmenteils 9 verbunden sind, das in der Fig. 2 nur unvollständig gezeigt ist. Ein mittlerer Abschnitt dieses Rahmenteils 9, in dem eine Durchgrifföffnung 10 für ein Haubenschloss gebildet ist, erstreckt sich unterhalb des vorderen Randes der Motorhaube 3 und ist in Fig. 1 von dieser verdeckt. An den mittleren Abschnitt schließen sich zwei Bügel 12, 13 an, die sich um die Gehäuse der Scheinwerfer 1 herum erstrecken und an denen deren Laschen 8 befestigt sind.Fig. 2 shows the
Fig. 3 und 4 veranschaulichen die Wirkungsweise der Erfindung gemäß einer ersten Ausgestaltung anhand von zwei schematischen Schnitten. Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt im intakten Zustand, in welchem die Streuscheibe 5 des Scheinwerfers 1 mit der angrenzenden Haube 3 und der äußeren Hülle des Stoßfängers 4 bündig ist. Zwei Halter zwischen dem Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers 1 und dem steifen Rahmenteil 9, die jeweils durch die miteinander verbundenen Laschen von Scheinwerfer und Rahmenteil gebildet sind, sind in Fig. 1 durch einfache Striche 12, 13 dargestellt. Im Inneren der Karosserie hinter dem Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers befindet sich eine Aussparung 14. Die Aussparung 14 ist nicht vollständig von begrenzenden Wänden umgeben; wenigstens in ihrem hinteren Bereich ist eine Öffnung gelassen, die es ermöglicht, vom Motorraum aus auf die Leuchtmittelfassung 6 zuzugreifen. Die Aussparung 14 ist teilweise mit einem durch Stauchung deformierbaren Material, z. B. einem Schaum 15 ausgefüllt.3 and 4 illustrate the operation of the invention according to a first embodiment with reference to two schematic sections. Fig. 3 shows a section in the intact state in which the
Fig. 4 zeigt einen zu Fig. 3 analogen Schnitt nach einem Aufprall eines Fußgängers auf den Scheinwerfer 1. Die Halter 12, 13 sind sämtlich zerstört, und der Scheinwerfer ist als Ganzes in die Aussparung 14 hinein zurückgedrängt. Während des Zurückdrängens des Scheinwerfers 1 wurde die Struktur des Schaums 15 kontinuierlich zerstört und dadurch der Aufprall des Fußgängers kontinuierlich abgebremst.Fig. 4 shows an analogous to Fig. 3 section after a collision of a pedestrian on the
Die Zerstörung der Halter 12, 13 kann durch Brechen der die Laschen 8 des Scheinwerfers 1 und des Rahmenteils 9 verbindenden Schrauben oder durch Abrechen von Laschen vom Scheinwerfergehäuse oder dem Rahmenteil 9 erfolgen.The destruction of the
Eine zweite Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in den Fig. 5 und 6 veranschaulicht, von denen wiederum Fig. 5 einen Schnitt durch den Scheinwerfer 1 und dessen Umgebung im intakten Zustand und Fig. 6 einen entsprechenden Schnitt nach Aufschlagen eines Fußgängers auf den Scheinwerfer 1 zeigt.A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6, of which in turn Fig. 5 shows a section through the
Von den in der Fig. gezeigten Haltern 12, 13 ist der obere 12 leichter zerstörbar als der untere 13, z. B., indem in dem oberen Halter 12 ein Niet mit Sollbruchstelle verwendet ist, und in dem unteren 13 nicht, oder indem einfach die Laschen des unteren Halters 13 länger und biegsamer als die des oberen 12 gemacht sind. Wenn ein Fußgänger auf den Scheinwerfer 1 aufschlägt, bricht der obere Halter 12, während der untere Halter 13 zunächst nachgibt, so dass der Scheinwerfer zunächst die in Fig. 6 als gestrichelter Umriss dargestellte Stellung erreicht. In dieser Stellung ist der untere Halter 13 nicht weiter verformbar, er ist jedoch noch nicht zerstört, und bildet daher einen Angelpunkt, um den herum der Scheinwerfer 1 abwärts in die Aussparung 14 hineinschwenkt. Diese Ausgestaltung ist daher insbesondere für eine Fahrzeugkarosserie geeignet, bei der Platz, in den der Scheinwerfer 1 bei einem Unfall verdrängt werden kann, in Fahrtrichtung hinter dem Scheinwerfer nicht ohne weiteres bereit gestellt werden kann.Of the
Eine kontinuierliche Verzögerung des aufprallenden Fußgängers kann bei dieser Ausgestaltung dadurch erreicht werden, dass zum Verbiegen des intakt bleibenden unteren Halters 13 in allen Phasen der Verdrängungsbewegung des Scheinwerfers 1 Arbeit geleistet werden muss. Ergänzend kann selbstverständlich auch hier ein deformierbares Element wie etwa der oben erwähnte Schaum 15 in der Aussparung 14 vorgesehen sein.A continuous deceleration of the impacting pedestrian can be achieved in this embodiment in that to bend the intact remaining
Selbstverständlich könnte durch eine passende Wahl der Anordnung und Belastbarkeiten der Halter 12, 13 auch ein Schwenken des Scheinwerfers 1 nach oben oder in seitlicher Richtung erreicht werden, je nachdem, wo die Aussparung 13, die der Scheinwerfer 1 zum Ausweichen benötigt, am einfachsten bereitgestellt werden kann. So zeigen die Fig. 7 und 8 eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, bei der eine Aussparung 14, in die der Scheinwerfer bei einem Aufprall ausweichen kann, sich einerseits unterhalb und andererseits schräg nach oben versetzt hinter dem Scheinwerfer befindet. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung ist es der untere Halter 13' , der bei einem Aufprall als erster bricht, während der obere Halter 12' zunächst noch einen Angelpunkt bildet, der die Bewegung des Scheinwerfers 1 in die Aussparung 14 hinein führt. Vorteilhaft an dieser Ausgestaltung ist, dass der untere Rand der Streuscheibe 5, der als erstes mit dem Fußgänger zusammenstößt, ausweichen kann, so dass eine erste Verzögerung des Fußgängers bereits stattgefunden hat, bevor der schwerer zerstörbare obere Halter 12' maßgeblich belastet wird.Of course, could be achieved by a suitable choice of the arrangement and loads of the
Eine vierte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in den Fig. 9 und 10 gezeigt. Diese Fig. sind weitgehend analog zu den bereits beschriebenen Fig. 3 und 4, ein wesentlicher Unterschied liegt darin, dass bei der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 7 ein Vorsprung 16 in die Aussparung 14 hineinragt, die, wie in Fig. 8 zu sehen ist, das Gehäuse des Scheinwerfers 1 zusammendrückt, wenn dieser nach Brechen der Halter 12, 13 in die Aussparung 14 hineingepresst wird. So übernimmt bei dieser Ausgeslaltung das Scheinwerfergehäuse selbst die Funktion des Schaums als ein deformierbares Element, dessen Stauchung Aufprallenergie dissipiert.A fourth embodiment of the invention is shown in Figs. 9 and 10. 3 and 4, an essential difference is that in the embodiment of FIG. 7, a
